HOW CAN THIS GUY NOT BE CONSIDERED CRAZY?: Execution of Texas Death Row Inmate Who Cut Out His Eyes Delayed After Concerns About His Mental State

The April execution of one of Texas's "most mentally ill prisoners" was delayed Tuesday by a judge due to concerns surrounding the man's mental state.

Andre Thomas, 39, was set to be executed on April 5 for the March 2004 stabbing deaths of his estranged wife Laura Christina Boren, 20, their 4-year-old son Andre Lee and Boren's 13-month-old daughter Leyha Marie Hughes in the relatively small town of Sherman. The Associated Press reported Thomas cut the two children's hearts out.

Thomas, who gouged each of his eyes out on two separate occasions, later told police God instructed him to commit the killings and that he thought all three of his victims were demons.
